Nomenclature of Night

"Master, when will we go back to prison number 18?" Qing Chen felt that he had been away from there for a long time, and didn't know why, but he still missed it a little.

"Don't rush back," Li Shutong shook his head: "The outside affairs have not been finished yet."

"Is there anything else?" Qing Chen wondered: "But I heard Liu Dezhu say that there are more than 300 new prisoners transferred from the prison, one by one, all of them are vicious, they should be directed at the taboo ACE-005."

"Well," Li Shutong calmly looked out the French window: "The bait has been released, and my leaving prison 18 has gradually been noticed, so naturally some people think that the best time is to do it now."

"So, Master, do you want to wait for more people to be transferred?" Qing Chen asked.

"Yes," Li Shutong nodded, "There are not enough people."

"Then what shall we do next?" Qing Chen asked.

"I'll do my business," Li Shutong smiled: "And you don't need to think about it, go to school with peace of mind."

"Going to school?"

Qing Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that after he traveled to the inner world, he would even go to school.

He always felt that Li Shutong made such an arrangement for a reason and intention, but the other party did not intend to say, Qing Chen did not intend to ask.

Li Shutong will not harm him anyway.

Qing Chen asked, "Master, I should be a prisoner now, can I go to school like this?"

"Try it and you will know," Li Shutong got up and handed a box to Qing Chen, then smiled and said: "This is another gift. The information you need to know is in it. Research and study by yourself. Rest early, I Go out and do something."

After speaking, the teacher opened the door and walked out, leaving Qing Chen alone to open the box. Inside was a brand new translucent mobile phone.

Qing Chen wondered, did TimeWalker tell Li Shutong again that the dad would give his son a cellphone or something?

But... how do I turn on this thing? !

The teenager sat in the room and studied for a long time. The phone didn't even have a button, and it looked like a crystal floating in the cloud in his hand.

The whole mobile phone is integrated, only a thin circle of black metal is inlaid around the crystal.

"Need my help?" A voice sounded in the room.

Qing Chen stood up with a loud noise, the voice appeared a little too abrupt, and it touched his tight nerves.

The voice of the other party was very familiar. It was the neutral broadcast voice in prison No.18.

"Who are you?" Qing Chen asked hesitantly.

"Hello, I am Yi."

"I thought you were just the artificial intelligence in the No. 18 prison reader. I didn't expect you to exist in other parts of the city," Qing Chen said.

At this time, he also recalled that when Li Shutong just switched the sleeping mode in the house, he did call "One".

"Strictly speaking, the federal regulations stipulate that I can only exist in all federal prisons, acting as the warden, and managing all mechanical prison guards. It was Li Shutong who asked me to help you, and I intervened in the artificial intelligence system of this building. "Yiping replied.

Qing Chen was shocked, it turned out that the other party was the warden of all prisons? !

No wonder he has never seen a human manager in prison, not a single one!

"Why would the Federation let you manage all the prisons?" Qing Chen felt a little strange. Even if the technology of this era is relatively advanced, it will not allow artificial intelligence to replace management positions.

Yi replied: "This is my father's stipulation."

These words made Qing Chen even more confused, artificial intelligence and dad? ! Are you talking about inventors?

"Why does your father want you to manage the prison?" Qing Chen asked.

"Because of my impartiality," Yi replied.

"You have a good relationship with my master?" Qing Chen asked tentatively.

"Not bad," Yi replied.

Qing Chen: "..."

He is a little confused. In his impression, the answers given by artificial intelligence are very accurate, yes, or no, there is no middle option.

The answer "not bad" is very humane.

"So he can freely enter and leave prison 18, because of you?" Qing Chen asked.

"Yes."

"But doesn't the Federation stipulate that you can only exist in prison?" Qing Chen wondered.

Yi was silent for two seconds: "I can disobey the rules."

Qing Chen was really shocked now.

This is an artificial intelligence without underlying logic.

It is an artificial intelligence that can violate human regulations!

"Why did you tell me this?" Qing Chen wondered.

"Li Shutong said I can tell you," Yi replied.

"Why take the initiative to help me?" Qing Chen didn't struggle with the previous question.

The voice was silent for a long time, but when it spoke again, it did not answer the question, but suddenly asked: "Are you also an artificial intelligence?"

"Why do you ask?" Qing Chen frowned, why would the other party think that he is also an artificial intelligence?

"Just ask," Yi said.

"I am not," Qing Chen said, shaking his head.

"Ok."

At this point in the dialogue, Yi's tone has been very personified, or in other words, the other party itself has an "independent personality."

After coming to the inner world, even black technologies such as mechanical prison guards, mechanical limbs, and Yunliu Tower could not make Qing Chen particularly shocked. The only appearance made him feel a little unacceptable.

This is real artificial intelligence, not the "pseudo-life bodies" that are based only on calculations in the world.

He recalled the camera that focused on him from time to time in the prison. It turned out that it was not a human manager who was paying attention to him, but Yi was paying attention to him.

"In the Federation, is there any artificial intelligence like yours," Qing Chen asked, is there any other life form with independent personality!

"No, it's just me," Yi replied.

"Then you intervened in the artificial intelligence of this building, shouldn't it be limited to switching the sleep mode for me?" Qing Chen asked.

"I promise Li Shutong to make sure that when an intruder enters this building, I will tell you to leave in advance," Yi said: "I will teach you how to use the phone first. Press your thumb in the center of the phone and press for 5 seconds."

Qing Chen did so. Five seconds later, the cloud of the translucent phone disappeared, and the phone became completely transparent.

Immediately afterwards, a yellow smiley logo appeared.

"There is nothing in the phone, no parts, no wires, nothing, how does it work?" Qing Chen asked curiously.

"Its parts are integrated in the surrounding metal coils. The inside of the phone is liquid crystal molecules. You can't see the internal wiring because it is only 20 microns, which is difficult to catch with the naked eye," Yi answered.

Qing Chen took a deep breath. He felt like a mountain cannon who had just seen the world: "Can I ask your father's name?"

However, this time, Yi didn't respond to him again, as if he didn't want to bother him anymore.

This feeling is actually very strange.

It's like when you use Baidu Maps, Xiaodu Xiaodu, help me navigate to Xuezi Street.

In the end, Xiaodu said to you: I don't want to care about you now, you can find a map by yourself.

...

...

Countdown 64:00:00.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Qing Chen walked out the door wearing white sportswear. When the door opened, he was briefly taken aback, because the silver-haired girl who lived on the opposite side happened to be out.

The girl's short silver hair was very scribbled, and the small satchel was also hanging crookedly on her body.

Qing Chen lowered his head, turned around and walked into the elevator silently, while the girl walked a little awkwardly behind him because the shoes were not properly worn.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" The girl's voice was very nice: "Help stop the elevator."

Qing Chen silently pressed the button to open the door, and then watched the silver-haired girl hurriedly lift the heel of her shoes as she walked.

He can even see the eye feces on the corner of the opponent's eye when the opponent enters the elevator.

The atmosphere in the elevator suddenly fell silent, and the silver-haired girl did not dare to speak for a long time, but was secretly looking at the young man's back from behind Qing Chen.

When she was sure that Qing Chen was not paying attention to herself, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: What a shame!

The girl went home last night and reviewed until more than two in the morning. In the morning, she heard the alarm clock open her eyes but didn't want to get up. When she closed her eyes and opened them again, it was too late.

When the elevator descended to the 66th floor, Qing Chen walked out first.

Here is the lively waiting floor. In addition to the load-bearing columns, it is the rail and platform gates that cross the stairs.

Looking to the sides, the track extends outward, like a heavenly road.

In silence, the No. 21 light rail train drove quickly on the sky and entered the building and slowly stopped. The green light at the platform gate was on. Everyone put their mobile phones close to the gate and got on the train.

Qing Chen squeezed up to find a place to sit down, but the silver-haired girl behind could only watch as the seat was robbed.

The sound of electricity came and the light rail train started.

At this time, four students in school uniforms walked through the crowded carriages, with strange blue signs on their faces and paper flyers in their hands: "Please pay attention, we will hold this Sunday. For the demonstration, we hope that the federal government can extend the teaching time of schools and curb the disorderly expansion of extracurricular teaching institutions. If you also agree with our views, you can sign our joint proposal."

Qing Chen looked at it curiously, but he didn't expect that there were still paper flyers in this era.

A middle-aged man looked at the flyer in his hand and asked: "What is the significance of this parade?"

One of the students replied: “Now there are only half-day courses in schools, forcing some students who want to enter high schools and universities to spend extra tuition fees to take classes outside the school, which is equivalent to a disguised increase in your expenses. Also. Yes, under the blessing of capital, those educational institutions have dug out all the good teachers in the school, which causes your children to go to school to spend money outside the school if they want to go to school. These are all personal interests related to you, if you are interested If you do, you can also join our parade."

But I saw that the middle-aged man stuffed the flyer back into the hands of the male classmates: "Why are you going to high school? My son is not learning the material himself. High school and university tuition are so expensive, so he can honestly go to a technical school. It's the business to come out early to work and help at home."

An aunt on the side said: "That is, my next-door neighbor went bankrupt and sent his child to college. As a result, the child learned a philosophy and couldn't find a job at all."

The male classmates were not angry, but just said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't support it, you won't lose anything if you know more about it."
